Last Tuesday through Sunday we went on our first EVER family vacation. We stayed at my parents' house by the bay in Delaware. And it was SO GOOD. At the risk of sounding completely boring, I'm not really a vacation person. Honestly, I LOVE to work. I love routine. I love being home. So taking the kids somewhere for an extended period of time doesn't sound super appealing to me. (I told you I was boring.)

But husband didn't give me a choice. We were GOING. And, as usual, he was right when he said it would be good for us to get away. Even if he dragged me away kicking and screaming.

On the itinerary:
Taking naps
Playing on the beach
Watching sunsets
Eating chocolate and pizza
Swimming in the pool

Friends of ours were at the beach at the same time, and Avery loved playing with her friend Anna. They were two peas in a pod.

Violet watching the boats in the water with her friend Cooper.

The view from the my parents' back porch is incredible. It was so peaceful.

And here you have a seven year old being cool and her little two year old sister attempting to copy the coolness. ALMOST got it.

And the hubster and Jack chilling out by the water. Our favorite place to be.

Summer has been good to us. It hasn't necessarily been laid-back or without lots of work to do. But it's been really good. Violet is my "helper" (huge quotation marks around that one) and likes to be by my side most of the day.

Summer has included catching fireflies, birds, and baby grasshoppers.

We are outside most of the day, in the 90 degree humidity, but the kids don't seem to mind too much.

The land in which we live is filled with corn fields, rolling hills, lots of trees and farms and greenery. I happen to think it's beautiful. The beauty of Pennsylvania in the summer.

And we got to see a fresh new baby last weekend. My new nephew Asher Reid. A head full of dark hair and so much cuteness.

Violet was in love.

Summer is just flying by and I'm trying my best to make it STOP. Although I'm sure I'll be ready to get back to the routine that fall brings. I LOVE that we live in an area where we have four seasons, each different and beautiful in their own way.

I'm so excited to share my newly re-designed website! After months of working on it, it is finally DONE. It'll make shopping for my artwork so much easier and it looks prettier too (which is the most important part, right??).

Pet birds. Oh, how these little black birds caused a stir with the kids. The birds fell out of their nest from a tree in the back yard and couldn't fly yet, so the kids mothered them. They dug for worms and fed them all day long. I think it'll be the highlight of Avery's summer.

Playing outside. Yay for summertime and sunshine and being able to send the kiddos out to play!

Fun new housey stuff. I haven't had time to do much shopping recently, but last weekend I went to HomeGoods with my sister and picked up a few things.

New sheets and a pillow for Jack's bed. He gets excited about the littlest things and was over the moon.

I also picked up this clock at HomeGoods. Isn't it perfect?

Thrifty treasures. I found this floor lamp at Goodwill and literally could not stop smiling when I put it in my cart. I've been looking for one just like it for ages and finally found one! Um, yeah, it's the little things.

Sneak Peeks. I've been working really hard in the past few weeks designing a lot of new things that will be in the shop soon. So fun. But also the reason I haven't been blogging much.
